As the title says really, got these rims back from my cousin and have no idea what model they are, tried a few local bike shops but nobody seems to know what they are or that they even existed.

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,
Neil.

Anyone got any ideas?

They originally came from halfords around year 2000 at a cost of £170 the pair, there is a shimano model number on them something like m565 but cannot make it out clearly and i have been told that this number is for the rim.

Even Shimano themselves are struggling to find me some info on them.

Thanks,
Neil.

I think it's an old xtr/xt model.

Cheers pal, thats the most info i have had on these so far, it would be nice to narrow them down a little further though as i just want to source a hub (can still use them as they are, its just the rear hub is pitted on the drive side)

Thanks for the help Wink its appreciated.
Neil.

Holy crap ain't seen a hub like that in like ever,if there is a number on the hub my best advice would be to phone maddison the uk importer.

You did fine m8 and i appreciate you spending the time to respond.

Pretty good timing for shimano to get intouch, before the googling started lol.

Thanks again pal,
Neil.
